eurolaser tested the following materials from Jessup on the laser cutting machines:
Laser test: Jessup Safety Load® & Safety Track®
Laser cutting of grip tape
Material
Grip tape consists of coarse aluminium oxides on a durable polymer carrier with an adhesive backing. It is specifically designed for use in safety-critical areas – e.g. on industrial equipment, vehicle steps, stair treads or ramps. The materials provide maximum slip resistance, even in the presence of moisture, oil or dirt, and meet requirements for occupational safety and durability.
Test setup
Testing was carried out using a eurolaser L-1200 with the Conveyor System as the table concept. Recommended power approx. 250 W, depending on cutting speed and material thickness. The test requirements included small, intricate contours, burr-free cut edges and no damage during cutting. Nesting with the OPTIMUM software module optimised material utilisation.
Results
All tested variants showed flawless cutting results: the cut edges are burr-free, the finest contours are cut cleanly, without damage. Large formats could also be processed with the same level of precision. Thanks to contact-free cutting, quality remains consistently high – tool wear and downtime are eliminated.
Advantages
Burr-free, precise cut edges – even with coarse grain.
No tool wear despite the highly abrasive surface.
Contact-free processing prevents distortion and contamination.
Ideal for series production.
Optimal material utilisation through nesting software.
